Abstract

The current study sought to develop engagement skills in learning and digital trust among university students by designing an interactive e-learning environment based on integrating the edX digital platform with some artificial intelligence applications. It was achieved by a random sample of undergraduate students at the College of Education, King Khalid University, was selected and divided into two groups: The first empirical group numbered (28) students and used the edX platform with some AI applications, and the other empirical group numbered (29) students who used Blackboard platform. A scale of engagement in learning was prepared, and a scale of digital trust and a t-test were used to analyze the study’s findings. The study found a statistical significance between integrating the edX digital platform with some AI applications and the Blackboard platform in developing engagement skills in learning in favor of the edX digital platform. The calculated T-value for both groups was 7.923, statistically significant at p<0.05. The T-value for integrating the edX digital platform with some AI and the Blackboard platform applications in developing digital trust skills in both groups was 1.368, which was insignificant at p<0.05.
